Emer Higgins @FineGael, tried to spin @sinnfeinireland policy of not selling public land to private developers. Luckily I was up next to put the record straight and how she along with NAMA & private developers have delayed housing.

Great to be back on the doors with @MarkWardSF and Robin after the Summer break. Even the rain couldn't deter us. 🌧 Tonight we listened to a number of residents on the doors in Hansted here in #Lucan. If we missed you, we dropped a card.. #NotJustElectionTime – at South Dublin, Ireland

Today, we can take an historic step closer towards Irish Unity. To building something better, and shaping a new and United Ireland. A real republic full of hope and opportunity for all our people. TDs will have the chance to vote on Sinn Féin’s Bill. This would see government set out a real pathway to reunification. This is the big idea of our generation. We must seize it.

Government must listen to GRA call for training for scrambler pursuits – @MarkWardSF "The fact that this training is not already in place is shocking. Government must engage with the Gardaí to ensure this is ready to roll out as soon as possible." sinnfein.ie/news/government-…

@MarkWardSF has shown continued support for NAI and joined us at the launch of our Pre Budget Submission launch: The Right Care in the Right Place. Magdalen Rogers, CEO of NAI said, “One in six people in Ireland is living with a neurological condition, yet far too many are facing long waits for diagnosis, travelling significant distances to access care, or struggling to access the specialist supports they need after diagnosis" NAI are calling for investment in neurology and neurorehabilitation services to tackle regional inequity and improve access to specialist care for people living with neurological conditions.

Sinn Féin is bringing forward a Dáil motion on Tuesday 9th June to support calls to ‘Stop the Game’ between Ireland and Israel. It is unthinkable for Ireland to play Israel at home or away while Israel is engaging in genocide, occupation and apartheid against the Palestinian people. Israel cannot continue to act with impunity. Israel must be sanctioned. Ireland has to take a stand. The FAI has to take a stand. The Irish government has to take a stand. #stopthegame

Growing up in O’Devaney Gardens, we had a framed copy of the 1916 Proclamation hanging proudly on the wall at home. As a child, I heard words like “cherishing” and “equally” but I didn’t feel like I was enough, because we were constantly being told there wasn’t enough funding to invest in our community. Today, people in Dublin Central are still being told they aren't enough. Enough is enough. On Friday, May 22nd, Vótáil Janice Boylan No. 1. We are enough.
